Deep dives
The Tuddle Twins: A Controversial Kids Book Series
The Tuddle Twins is a book series turned cartoon launched in 2014 by Connor Boyak, a Mormon man from Utah. Boyak also founded the Libertas Institute, a non-profit think tank focused on freeing individuals from government control. The Tuddle Twins is known for its right-wing gripes and propaganda, teaching children about topics like why Bitcoin is good and why Karl Marx is bad. Despite the controversy surrounding Boyak's viewpoints, the book series has gained popularity with its 13 volumes covering various subjects, including an edition introducing Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life.
The Need for Libertarian Educational Resources
Connor Boyak, the creator of The Tuddle Twins, identified a gap in educational resources that teach children about freedom and economics. He noticed a lack of books that explained concepts like the proper role of government and economics from a libertarian perspective. Inspired by his own struggles to explain these ideas to his kids, Boyak decided to create The Tuddle Twins book series as a resource to educate children about economic and civic truths. Despite criticisms and controversies surrounding his work, Boyak's goal was to provide children with an understanding of freedom and free-market principles.
